Nelson Mandela `Greatness Doesn`t Go On Sale!`

The world is still fighting racism the same way it always has, but under Nelson Mandela things improved, and we were inspired to see change.

(CLEVELAND) - Nelson Mandela's name will live through history as one of the world's greatest leaders. He rose to power when he was most needed by a population forced to live as a second-class people.

Indeed, he taught us many lessons about life and death and the need to remain strong when faced with an inflexible system created by human beings who truly viewed their existence as more important, more valuable.

To Liberals: Wake up About Militias: Just Another Part of the Exploding Localization Movement

Many consider local food a drop in the bucket, up against industrial agriculture, not realizing its power.

(WASHINGTON, DC) - This is not about local food anymore. It is about a push for everything local and the local plans that can free us from debt, from corruption, from fear, from sickness, from control, from ignorance, from isolation and loneliness, from joblessness, from injustice.

In every one of the major areas where localization is bursting forth, there are major government efforts to malign those involved, to block information, to use regulations and unconstitutional laws and/or police to crush what works and any new initiatives.

(KUALA LAMPUR) - In the wake of the military coup of July 3rd 2013, the question that is on the lips of many people is what is going to happen now in Egypt? How will the situation evolve? What is the future of the 80 million people who live in that ancient land?

It would be hazardous to try to predict the future, given the uncertainties that befuddle the present. There is however one possible scenario that one hopes will not be the fate of Egypt.

The Rhetoric of Spreading Democracy ---The World isn`t Buying it

Under US law the government cannot financially support a "military coup", so their solution is to avoid calling it what it is, making us a laughing stock around the world.

(JAMESTOWN, RI) - The Egyptian people love the American people, but hate our government, as do many other people in nations around the world.

A recent poll showed the people of Egypt hate the US government more than most other populations, so we must ask why? For the past 30 years the US government financially supported Egypt with an enormous annual contribution of $1.3 billion.

US Bankrolled Anti-Morsi Activists

Documents reveal US money trail to Egyptian groups that pressed for president's removal.

(BERKELEY, CA) - President Barack Obama recently stated the United States was not taking sides as Egypt's crisis came to a head with the military overthrow of the democratically elected president.
